LIVING ON CAMPUS Residence Life The residence halls at UW-Platteville strive to provide safe, clean, comfortable, and inclusive living environments as well as opportunities for individuals to be active participants in creating respectful and responsible learning communities. RESIDENCE LIFE STAFF Resident assistants are trained to help residents with the transition to college, struggles of relationships, providing programs, and upholding the Department of Residence Life Policies. Resident directors are professionals who oversee the residence halls. They provide ongoing training to the residence hall staff, resources to residents, and meet with residents who violate residence hall polices. We have these policies in place to support our mission of providing safe, clean, comfortable, and inclusive living environments for every resident. ROOM ASSIGNMENTS Room assignments for the fall semester are emailed in late June and assignments for the spring semester are emailed in late December. Please make note that we assign room locations based on when you completed your Housing Contract and then assign roommates based on how you answered the Housing Contract questions to assure a successful match. After you receive your roommate information, please reach out to your roommate directly to get to know each other and discuss what each roommate plans to bring. We don’t suggest relying on social media to learn about your new roommate—reach out and say hello. LOFTS Loft rental links will be available after room assignments have been sent out. Loft rentals will depend on what building you live in. Buildings using wooden lofts are contracted through Residence Life. Metal loft buildings are contracted through an offcampus company. Our bed loft section of our website details which buildings offer which loft. BICYCLE STORAGE For students living on campus in the residence halls, bike racks are available outside each hall for bike parking. Covered bike lockers are available in several locations near the residence halls. Bike locker rentals are done on a first-come, first-served basis within each residence hall. When students arrive on campus, they can speak with their residence hall’s front desk staff to pay and get a key for a bike locker. MOVE-IN PROCESS Be sure to check your campus email regularly because additional information will be provided as we approach move-in day. Information about dates and times for new student move-in will be provided on our website. FOR MORE INFORMATION Residence Life | Room 120, Royce Hall 608.342.1845 | reslife@uwplatt.edu
